Most of my friends have never heard me play, only one really, and that's because we used to jam occasionally. That link you showed me goes a little quicker than I would; focus on the the four notes and one thing he neglected to mention is that it takes months to get halfway decent at it. Don't try to run before you can walk or you'll sound awful. Rather amusingly, some guitarists that are well known for their ability can't sweep well at all; Dragonforce and Laiho of CoB are prime examples. I mean, this is just painful...

Ouch, that was the guitarist from Dragonforce?  I'm hardly qualified to be a critic, but I'm kind of surprised to see such a sloppy half-assed technique coming from a musician in a band that well-known.
 
Most of the vids I've seen on sweep picking make it look deceptively easy, but it's one of those things where if you don't develop the dexterity working on other things first, it becomes very difficult to do well.  I still suck at it, but I try to work on it every once in a while.
